we are not willing to see that in the ad states. -- in the united states. obviously europe is different. because of the large muslim immigrant populations there. but there is much prospect of islam is some catching on in the united states. we think it is not terribly threatening and it is now a creek without a country, except iran, which is a different kind of islamism. the sunni grande has not found a home. it is not a nation state that threatens us. if we can kill the leaders through this capacity that this administration has developed, we can contain this virus until it dies off. i am not sure that is true. that seems to be one reason why we have not acted. another is, as speakers have mentioned, our unease with an ideology that has religious provenance. americans have a respect for religious conviction. not always true in europe these days. we do not want to pick fights with 1.5 million muslims across 150 countries in the world. the idea of a clash of civilizations -- there is no reason for us to subscribe to it. we look at this conflict as a debate bet
